Listing description

Bring your own builder! This incredible opportunity is ready for you to transform this beautiful historic home in the heart of Newtown Borough into your dream home. HARB has already approved architectural design drawings to restore the exterior of this home back to its original Victorian era character and charm; that includes the addition of a wrap around porch and wood shutters, as well as approval for a large addition out the back of the existing home. Renderings included in the listing are strictly for a visual aid for HARB approved exterior renovations. Set on a large, deep lot with access from Penn St and Mercer St, enjoy the convenience of parking in the driveway at the rear of the property, and the large beautiful barn that offers fantastic storage on the second level. The existing home has been taken down to the studs on the interior and is ready for the next steward to take over this unique project. A floorpan for the planned addition and renovation is available upon request where you can see the potential to expand on this already large home, into an even more spacious, functional floorpan and design. Design set of building plans offer an opportunity for 4-5+ bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, large kitchen, and open concept; provide an estimated square footage tally of 2195 first floor, 2075 second floor, 1140 3rd floor, and 875 potential finished square feet in basement. Original existing features such as exposed stone walls, large stone fireplace and other original fireplaces, and bay windows, will be sure to add a sense of character and old world charm to your renovation. Do not miss this rare opportunity to be in the center of town, yet on a quiet charming side street just steps from all the dining and shopping Newtown Borough has to offer. Existing home and barn are being sold in as-is condition and any potential and future renovations and construction are the responsibility and discretion of the buyer.

School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Bucks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
